I recall @David in FL saying on multiple occasions that FF is not so great.

Yep, I'm not a huge fan of FF. Just ok for the money and can get sloppy if there's been any rain. Magnolia at Disney is a pretty good track, better than FF in my opinion and will be in great shape. The other alternative that I'll always recommend is Orange County National. Less than 30 minutes from Disney. 2 courses, always in great shape with spectacular greens and a fantastic facility. Panther Lakes is the top choice of the two courses, but just barely, they're both great. Until the recent change in the PGA Tour qualifying process, they hosted the Q-school finals every other year. http://www.ocngolf.com Welcome to the site, and have fun when you're down here! :beer:

Being a high handicapper we always look for the best bang for the buck. We recently found what we think is the best in that category here in the Orlando area.

That is Royal St Cloud.

We have played here a couple times in the last couple months and it is very well maintained for the price.

I really liked Celebration for the money when I was there. Close to Disney if I recall.

[quote name="fairwaysplitter" url="/t/78611/best-bang-for-the-buck-in-orlando#post_1084840"]See I knew you guys would lead me in the right direction! FF looked good on pics & saw SOME good reviews, but, may do Magnolia. Heck we're staying at Disney anyways. Anyone wanna talk me out of Magnolia now lol??[/quote] Celebration is good. Magnolia is better. OCN is best. All in my opinion for whatever it's worth.

No. I just played Magnolia this week and it was in good shape. A little wet in some places, but I think that's all of FL this year. Greens were firm and fast.

Sounds great! I'm gonna go ahead & make me a tee time for Magnolia then. It you start around 2:00, can you get 18 in??

That might be pushing it a bit.

No. 4 hours would be a fast round at Disney this time of year, and to be safe, I'd want 5 hours before sunset, which is 5:30 right now. I'd shoot for 12:30 and wouldn't consider anything after 1:00......

Oh great! My tee time is at 1:00 on a SATURDAY lol. Just hope I can finish! How were the greens?? That's what I'm curious about. Thank you for the input.

Like I said, greens were in great shape, firm and fast. Pretty much every green is elevated so they drain well.
